Use of heavy lenses
For non-static applications, use lenses with a mass below 70 g and a length less
than 38 mm, where the center of gravity is 20 mm, measured from the lens mount
front flange. For heavier or longer lenses, use a lens support and apply additional
tests. For more information, please contact
Heat sinks and conductive media
Heat sinks
The camera can be damaged by overheating if heat sink or conductive media are
not used properly.
•
Adhere to the instructions and safety notes provided by the manufacturer of
the heat sink.
Conductive media for heat sinks
Some conductive media for heat sinks contain corrosive substances that can
damage optical surfaces of the sensor, filter, and lenses.
•
Cover the optical path of the camera when you apply heat sink compound or
adhesive to prevent substances and fumes from damaging optical surfaces.
•
Adhere to the instructions and safety notes provided by the manufacturer of
the conductive media.
•
Ensure that the conductive media is correctly positioned: covering only the
components to be cooled.
